Honda Releases Hydrogen Car
Today Honda has released its hydrogen fuel cell car. Called the Honda “FCX Clarity” the car runs on only electricity and hydrogen. It is two times more energy efficient than a gas-electric hybrid car and three times more efficient than a standard gasoline powered car.
The FCX is completely clean and produces no carbon emissions. The car only expels water. Japan’s biggest automaker will lease a “few dozen” vehicles this year and expects to up the number to 200 units within three years.
Although Honda received 50,000 applications for the Clarity it only considered applicants who lived near Hydrogen Fueling stations in Torrance, Santa Monica, and Irvine California.
The FCX Clarity weighs 3,600 pounds, can reach speeds up to 100 miles per hour, and has a range of 270 miles.
